Article Source: The heritage foundationPresident Obama promised that "not a dollar of the Medicare trust fund will be used to pay for this plan." Just this past August, the President further claimed that Medicare was stronger than ever.
But time has shown there's an unmistakable gap between the President's promises and the reality of the new health care law. For seniors losing the option to keep their current Medicare Advantage plans, that gap will be all too real, starting next year.

The company decided to dump Medicare Advantage because Harvard Pilgrim “became concerned by the long-term viability of Medicare Advantage programs in general,” said Lynn Bowman, Vice President of Customer Service. “We know that cuts in Medicare are being used to fund national health care reform. And we also had concerns about our ability to build a network of health care providers that would meet the needs of our seniors.”
Health care is in full swing mode now
#1 - Fri Jan 28, 2011 3:41 PM ESTHarvard Pilgrim, the state’s second largest insurance company, plans to cancel its Medicare Advantage plan by 2011, forcing 22,000 seniors, who may very well like their current coverage just fine, to find another option. For many, this could mean enrolling in traditional Medicare and Harvard Pilgrim’s Medicare Supplemental plan, which offers similar benefits but at a higher expense.

#3 - Fri Jan 28, 2011 4:58 PM ESTI am living with Obamacare-less. I've seen reductions in medical equipment, repairs, and replacement of parts for my mobility device. Several previously approved medical services are now no longer on the 'approved for payment' list I get from Medicare. One of my medications is no longer covered in the fomulary. I've had to decline or pay full price for diaognostics not covered anymore.
And, The health care Bill gave insurers time to adjust their plans and eliminate many coverages while adjusting prices higher by 2014.
Thanks for fixing it, Dems.
